[QUOTE="satpyo, post: 1034557, member: 150862"] I got this PowerBook G4 15" FW800 a while ago from a friend and just recently tried hooking up an AirPort Extreme card, because the ethernet card it came with was lousy. I've tried two different used AirPort Extreme cards now, and the laptop refuses to acknowledge the existence either one, even though I tried updating the AirPort software, and even reinstalling the OS and upgrading it to 10.4.11 again. Apparently when I go into the Network pane in System Preferences it should just say "card found", like it does with the ethernet connection, but it doesn't. After a lot of no success, I thought it might be a hardware issue, so I took the laptop apart and snapped this pic ([url]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7209/airportmystery.jpg[/url]) of the area around the AirPort card slot. I have no evidence the slot in question ever worked, by the way. Can anyone tell from that pic or anything else what the problem might be? Feel free to request a different pic with more parts removed or whatever if that will help. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
